FRASER, James, Sir 1 2 3
User ID: Y914. James married Margaret STEWART heiress of Frendraught, daughter of Sir John STEWART of Frendraught and Unknown, about 1322.1 2 (Margaret STEWART heiress of Frendraught was born about 1303.) Marriage Notes: "James Fraser, youngest brother of Sir Alexander Fraser ... married the daughter and heiress of Sir John Stewart of Frendraught, who had supplanted the ancient family of Frendraught in that estate about the beginning of the fourteenth century, and whose wife may have been the heiress of that family.... Some former connection by marriage must have existed between the Frasers and the Stewarts, though its nature is not traceable, as a dispensation had to be obtained in 1322 from Pope John XXII., for the marriage of James Fraser and Margaret Stewart of Frendraught, who were related within the prohibited degrees." |
